Happy New Year from our #WatertownWay team!
Happy Holidays from our #WatertownWay family to yours!
3rd year #WatertownWay German students watched a video of Hansel & Gretel in German and learned how a phrase from a fairy tale worked its way into the cultural background knowledge of gingerbread houses in Germany. They then read an article using this language as it gave advice on how to build gingerbread houses. Finally, they built their own! There were some construction accidents, but everyone persevered and got their house built!
Due to the impending inclement weather, there will be no classes held in the WUSD on Thursday, December 22, 2022 - this includes the cancelation of all after-school activities. Please stay safe and have a wonderful winter break! See you back to school in the New Year on Tuesday, January 3, 2023!

#WatertownWay WHS students in 3rd year German learned how to make classic German Christmas cookies - Zimtsterne (cinnamon stars). They compared the process of making German cookies to the processes they’re familiar with and evaluated what is important about baking in each culture. They will go on to analyze the structure and language of German recipes before writing their own recipe in German.
Come cheer on our #WatertownWay Gosling Boys Basketball team as they take on Milwaukee Bay View on December 1st, and take part in a fun, family holiday event too! There will be photos with Santa, snacks, games, t-shirts, and raffles! All proceeds will go to the Watertown Humane Society. We hope to see you there!
Our #WatertownWay team wants to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving! We are so thankful for you!
Our #WatertownWay WHS Art Students were busy at work earlier this month making a 13X3 foot mosaic mural! The Class of 2020's graduation gift was to fund a mural for the front foyer of WHS. Art Educator Jana Strobel spearheaded this initiative, drew the design for the mural and contracted with Mosaic and Stained Glass Artist Denny Berkery to make this mural happen. Over 150 students participated in the making of the mosaic mural!
A Ribbon Cutting event to view the mural will be on November 29th, 2022 at 4:00 p.m. during the WHS Art Show. We welcome the entire community to come and see this amazing piece of art! In addition, the WUSD Student Art Showcase event will take place on Nov 29th from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., and is free to everyone. There will be art making stations, face painting, and photo opportunities! Kindergarten through 12th grade art from across the WUSD will also be on view.

The Watertown Public Library asked #WatertownWay WHS Art students to once again decorate their steps with carved pumpkins. Overall, there were about 50 pumpkins carved and about the same number of students that did the carvings! Thank you WHS students and to the WPL for adding some fall fun to our downtown area!
